    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Looks like the Taubers CR @tmitchell59 sold a few days ago has resurfaced on eBay. The auction has a reserve so the seller probably wants to make a killing on it. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333202105868

    Looks nice but I’ve not heard of the “Leather Gold” brand.

    Is my leather jacket drying out?

    I own a Schott 654 and a Schott 626, both in brown and made from the same lightweight cowhide. I'm seeing the same effects you describe and picture above--more so on the 626. The lighter areas do feel a little rougher to the touch than the areas of darker color. But this is not a flaw or...

    Walter Dyer Vest with Many Harley Davidson collectible pins and a patch!

    Walter Dyer jackets are very well made from seriously thick leather. Way under the radar, in my opinion. I'm sure this vest is just as impressive. Hope the new owner is happy with it.

    Durable Horsehide Cafe racer? c.1954

    The theory is Schott feels they can legitimately make a claim that they made the original Brando jacket because they bought out Durable. (I have no evidence that Schott purchased Durable, just read that somewhere.) It's pretty clear that Schott didn't make the jacket. The original pattern for...

    Durable Horsehide Cafe racer? c.1954

    The main problem is "durable" has been such a commonly used adjective to describe leather jackets. Even if someone has the actual Brando jacket on display in their man cave, the Durable label alone doesn't tell us much. Hopefully the info I uncovered will serve as a starting point to learning more.

    Durable Horsehide Cafe racer? c.1954

    Durable is a brand that is extremely difficult to research, mainly because so many manufacturers used the word "durable" to describe their leather products. Perhaps Durable had a Canadian branch, but I do not believe it was a Canadian company. Unless there was a separate company using the same...

    Durable Horsehide Cafe racer? c.1954

    I saw this jacket quite a while ago on eBay but never posted it as I figured no one would have interest because of the small size. Glad you got it for study, Terry.
